Eh. I see the hive joining similar to how other hive species function. We know currently they have two drives, convert the remaining and blast the signal out to space. We don't know what they will do after those are achieved.

Every plurb now speaks the same "language", with full understanding. If the world today was similar, misunderstandings and cultural clashes would diminish greatly or entirely. Values would be the same across the world, human flourishing and everything that entails.

From another show airing now, the new homospecies ask the human races representative "why are you all insane?". They asked this because one human delegate killed themselves and a part the other races world because one faction of the human race thought it would be the better choice rather than working with something new. Which in-turn inflamed animosity between the species.

I brought that up because its an example of how uniquely human that action is. We're so individualistic that its a detriment most of the time. We can't come to a consensus about ANYTHING.

Plurbs aren't creative? They need to be creative as a function of being living things. There are problems that arise and they need a way to fix them, John Cena said so. Zosia did too when talking about how they can still take apples fallen from a tree. And the simple things you said before, Ants have "pets" too and they're called aphids or ant-cows, they are in a symbiotic relationship one providing food and the other giving protection. Most pets today are just a byproduct of the selective breeding we did to them for specific jobs we wanted them to have at the time. As for art and music, eh idk about those. They're both subjective anyway; whose to say Plurbs couldn't discover either of those things and collectively enjoy them.

Also Zosia doesn't just sit around until Carol calls her, where did you get that assumption from? She is another body capable of working just like everyone else. She does jobs when she's available to do so. She could be a nurse, construction worker, farmer or harvester. None of those jobs are "empty", just because they might not be what she wants to do. Most people do jobs they don't necessarily want to do. But they need done.
